Armenian piano art began to take shape in the mid XIX century as one expression of growing interest towards European music. Volume 2 includes compositions of prominent Armenian musician Stephan Elmas who worked with Professor Anton Door at the Vienna Conservatory. Elmas’s compositions tend to hearken back towards the style of earlier, Romantic composers, rather than forward to the challenging times that were shaping the musical world at the beginning of the new century. © 2013 Armen Babakhanian
